February challenge #2. Chalk pastel

Create

This piece is about the pressures in life, even the pressure to create. Pen, ink, color pencil

New

This piece is the first in my February challenge. "New" is about the new growths that come in someones life, I try to show the new change through her hair growing in. Color pencil, ink.

Goat-Tee

I created this for the Youth Art Contest where the theme was Western Lifestyle. I didn't have as much time to have worked on this as I would have liked to, but I am happy with the results. Oil pastels and acrylic.

Fluorescent Lights

Recently I have been playing around with ball point pen and have really enjoyed it. So I decided to draw one of the old building where I live. Ball point pen, colored pencils, and textile paper with water and acrylic smudging it.

Pretend to Pray

Stopped into a church 
I passed along the way
 well, I got down on my knees
and I pretended to pray

—California Dreamin' by the Mamas & The Papas

I decided to do this acrylic painting based on this verse of "California Dreamin'". These lines are my favorite in the whole song so I wanted to capture them in my painting.

it's a strange world

For this piece I wanted to show that something can look perfect and happy from the outside but if you look carefully it may not be. This is a cyanotype with colored pencils over it.
